I was almost certain that was the case. I was wrong. 

Not sure if anyone remembers, but the G8 GT also came with a 5-speed manual. #corrections

Good be surprised about long-distance comfort. We drove with another couple from Chicago-Alabama, and everyone was comfortable and had a lot of room. 

If he can fit in this, he can fit in a Buick.

 This was going to be made.

This was over the last 10 years. The F1 stopped production in the mid-90's.

It's not quite a 'Busa motor, but this Mini was featured on Jalopnik last summer.

I couldn't agree with you less. A commuter car has a couple of key qualities: 1) You have ample vision. My friend sat in the driver's seat, and all he got was a mailbox. The shelf behind the rear seats sloped upwards, killing rear visibility. 2) Passengers have to fit. I fit better in the backseat of my girlfriend's…

Sadly enough, Chevy is releasing a new beige turd for the 2014 model year. Saw it at the Chicago Auto Show, and they made it worse. I'm of above-average height (5'11"), and I had to slouch down in the back seat to fit.

Or an overzealous motoring journo

Man...those gorgeous Chrysler show cars...If only they didn't build the uglieset of the lot, they might have been in a bit better shape. I'm still wondering how the Dodge Razor never made it into production...

#2 is a definite shame. I remember a concept Prowler near the end of its run with a Grand Cherokee V8 shoehorned in. That's how the car should've been.

I believe the phrase you're looking for is "Design Budget Ran Out"

You have #9 all wrong. The 99 Sunfire (pictured here) wasn't a bad-looking car. They went from this to "KILL IT WITH FIRE! (red convertible in #9)" to, "It's still ugly but a step in the right direction".

This is a vast improvement over the 2000 refresh. The 1996-1999 version was a solid car. It wasn't great to drive, but the things were built like tanks (I know because it's what I learned to drive on, and my parents still have it to this day). Then GM had to do this to it...

I still can't get behind Miatas being the end all answer to every automotive question. They sound like a herd of bachelors making armpit fart noises, and that's something I cannot see as an answer to ANY automotive question.

Let this be a lesson: Don't take advice on lying from incoherent rappers that sound like they have cotton balls in their mouth.

Cargo? Military Use? PFFT! MEGA AIR YACHT!

100% confirmed. One of my college roommates' dad is a cop up there. He routinely laughed about preying on them.
